Biography

Richard Carle was an American stage and film actor as well as a playwright, lyricist, and stage director. He began performing in amateur shows in the late 1880s. In his early career he was a popular performer in musical comedies on Broadway; working regularly on the New York stage from 1891 through 1922. On screen, he appeared in one silent film in 1915 but then resumed performing on stage until moving to California in 1924. From this point on he was predominantly a film actor in both silent and sound films, making more than 100 films as a character actor from the mid 1920s until his death in 1941. During that period he occasionally returned to the stage, most notably in the original Broadway production of Cole Porter's The New Yorkers in the 1930-1931 season.
